Zenith Climbing Center

Black Friday is coming early this year! Mark your calendars for our big Gearage/Climb Source sale -- the last one before we move to our new facility!

One week from today, we’re hosting a night where climbing crosses over with a Romantasy book club at Zenith. Of Chalk Dust & Starlight: An Evening of Climbing & Romantasy. 🌙📚🧗‍♀️

We’re also thrilled to welcome Bedpost Books in Republic as a fun event vendor! Come ready for climbing, a romantasy book swap, themed drinks, costumes, and plenty of other magic throughout the night.

📅 Friday, October 23 | 7–9 PM

⚔️ Tickets are available now! Grab yours and join us for a different kind of night at Zenith.

Of Chalk Dust & Starlight : An Evening of Climbing & Romantasy | Zenith Climbing Center ✨ OF CHALK DUST & STARLIGHT ✨ An Evening of Climbing & Romantasy For one autumn evening, the walls of Zenith will become a realm of their own—where chalk dust hangs like magic, stories are traded…

It's official: our treasured Coach Maria is moving away to explore a new opportunity in South Dakota at the end of September.

While we're SO sad to see her leave, we're also excited to see what she does in her next chapter! To celebrate, we're hosting a going away party in the form of a HUGE group workout 😂 💪

So here's how it works:

1) RSVP at the QR code.

2) Come to the party at 7:30.

3) We'll circle up, do the largest group workout in the history of Zenith, then enjoy snacks and drinks!

All ages are welcome. If Coach Maria has impacted you in any way, this is a great chance to tell her before she heads off on her next adventure!

If you've ever wanted to ask a routesetter about a climb, this is your chance! Every Friday in September from 6-7:30pm, a routesetter or coach will divide off an area and climb with up to 8 members. Here's the breakdown:

9/4 - Zone 1 sport routes (Anchors 1-9)
9/11- Boulders
9/18- Slab sport routes
9/24- Boulders

Members can sign up for as many shots as they want! This is a free, members-only event. Just one example of the kind of fun stuff you get to do as a Zenith member 😊 RSVP on the signup sheet near the desk!

We couldn't be prouder of our youth team competitor Gael as he qualifies for the first time ever to compete in the IFSC World Championship!

As one of just 725 global athletes to make it to worlds, this is a huge deal for him and an incredible accomplishment, so we want to send him and his family off with the funds to support their success.

To raise money, we're hosting a Climb-a-Thon competition NEXT THURSDAY, July 9th, from 6-8pm, open to all ages!

(You can simply donate at the GoGundMe if you don't wish to compete!)

Compete in either the boulder category or the sport category. Full details at the GoFundMe page linked below and in our social media stories:

https://gofund.me/21f2814c7

Entry is $25 per team. Entry fee goes directly to Gael’s family.

We'll be closed on Saturday, July 4th! Have a safe and happy holiday...we'll see you again on Sunday at regular hours, 12-7!

Did you know Zenith offers introductory classes for new climbers? Climbing 101 and Bouldering 101 are both great ways to get comfortable with the basics.

Climbing 101 is perfect for people who have never climbed before, or who haven't climbed in forever and need a refresher on how to belay and climb safely. This two-hour class is $45, and you'll walk away with:

-A top-rope belay certification
-An understanding of basic movements and climbing grades for both sport climbing and bouldering
-A one-week membership to the gym (unlimited climbing, access to member's hours) with climbing gear included

If you're more interested in bouldering (climbing without ropes), you'll want to sign up for the Bouldering 101 class, where you'll get a deep dive into boulder-specific movements and techniques.

Here's an event you won't want to miss! LGBTQ+ and allies of all ages and experience levels welcome. Climb for just $15 and get a free belay certification.

Whether you're completely new to climbing or you've been in the gym before, the LGBTQ+ climb night is a great opportunity to share climbs, snacks, and laughs with the awesome community at Zenith.

Come discover your new passion for climbing! RSVP at the link below, or come into the gym to register:

Heads up, youth team kids and parents! Summer break is June 15-19. We won't have any youth team classes scheduled, though you're welcome as always to come climb on your own 😊 Enjoy a break and we'll see you back the following week.

The Zenith Maker's market wants YOU! We need Maker's, food vendors, and musicians to help make the day a memorable one.

Musicians, email [email protected] for information about performing.
